OK... very interesting video. Strong tricep.
I take video from a digital camera. Every picture is just a pause image of an actual video.

Negative One Arm chin up 1.25kg with chain

[attachmentid=2379350]

Weighted Chin up 27.5kg with chain @ 51kg BW

[attachmentid=2379465]
I did tried reduced ROM starting from top for one arm chin up, go down and go up again. Cant do it even if it is a reduced ROM. Looks like my real problem really on the top half. I think weighted negative one arm chin up is the way to go for now since I'm struggling at the top, the chain weigh more at the top and reduced as I go further down. Hope this setting will help me have more energy to focus at the top while progressingly getting easier as I go down the negative portion.

Sots press 40kg, not that bad... the strength is still there, it is not that bad as I think it was...

Towel Asissted One Arm Chin Up (10 Fist)

I think doing the same and expecting the different result is really insanity. So today onward, I'm going to put some weight on my one arm negative. On top of that I'm going to use chain as my variable weight. Lets see whether this adjustment will make a difference moving forward...

Yeah timer with a surface or tripod will work. I usually get someone to take for me.

Managed one headstand push up(wall assisted). Shaky rep but ok la, considering today is my first time in my life to even go upside down.





Will reduce the angle and get closer to the wall in the future.

Elbows flared out too much also  will try to fix that too.

That is true also, I'm a small bodybuilder... lol. I flex myself in front of mirror admiring my tiny bicep also... surely much smaller than you Alpha, by a lot of margin! lol

You like my variety? Let me see if I have anything in line to surprise you more... yeah, got more!

2 finger Regular Chin Up (believe me I tried to do it one finger it is impossible for me right now, especially on the bar. If on an eagle loop or a ring maybe can, maybe not...)

2 finger Regular Pull Up

Side to side pull up (after all that 4 step, go down, that is 1 rep!  lol)

Weighted chin up (31.25kg, glad I still have the strength)

[attachmentid=2381161]

I'm very pleased with my weighted chin up. My record is 37.5kg and ever since then I struggled to get 40kg and plateau ever since and lost the determination. Glad with the 31.25kg, quite satisfying starting level for me. I will build my strength back, will not slack off again now!!! Grrrr!!!
@adix4, I think you are doing it with your back facing the wall, instead do it like cyloh doing where your front facing the wall. Or you can do the handstand on the bed instead? I used to do that when I was at secondary school...

Or... do it somewhere else... lol

@cyloh, deal! Lets plan to meet up later. I'll pm you later once I figured this out.

I agree that training the GTG grip tax the muscle a lot. It actually if done agressively intefere with other training, because we use our palm for nearly everything we do... I'll pm you later in this 2 week time. Thanks cyloh!
Quiz, where to do pull up if dont have any horizontal bar?

[attachmentid=2384459]

Answer, wall pull up (I made the name myself!)

1) Search for spot!
2) Set yourself
3) Going up till top
4) Then go down!

Wall pull up, lol.

Calisthenic, anywhere... anytime

What do you do for your upper body development?
Anyway, today is cuti! Bored!

I noticed some of the our bar brother doing a cross at the bar, thought of doing it just now. Dont know what it need to be properly called.

Poor man's cross (thanks cyloh!)

Managed to do 2 rep. Whole 2 rep done while airborne...

What is this workout called?

I'm enjoying my parallete right now! 

Don't know if you've tried this, but a good way to gain the core strength in general, and for the planche using your parallel bars is to go from the L-sit position into either the tuck planche or straddle planche positions, holding it for a couple seconds at each part of the movement. It really tests your stability and core.

been reading since page 1 and boy, there's a lot of posts..

anyway, i just started doing Calisthenics since middle of this year, mostly push-ups with different variations, diamond, shoulder-width, wide. with elbows out and tucked in. but lately i've been hitting a plateau for a few weeks now.

atm, i'm do the following sets with 1 minute rest in between reps

shoulder-width/elbows-out
10, 11, 9, 12, 11

nowadays, when i do the last 2 sets, which is 12 and 11, my arms will go numb towards the end of my reps, which makes me unable to finish the set. what's going on?

my usual training days are sun (after my basketball game in the evening), tue, thu (after my tennis game at night).

Added on September 6, 2011, 9:52 amohh yah, there's a monkey bar at the playground where i play my bball.

it's kinda low, so i need to curl up my legs when i deadhang. so far, i can only do 1 chin-up regularly, but when i'm fully warmed up, i can push for 3, but it's freaking tiring on the whole body.. are you supposed to engage all your muscles when you do chin-ups?

a bit off topic sorry. but anyone knows where to buy the manila rope or the malay call it tali lembu.

thinking of having the rope training, climbing etc.
